I recently went on the VIP Experience at the BC Wildlife Park. My sister and I loved going around the bobcat and wolves enclosures to hide the food, and got some great pictures of the animals in action. We did not get up close interactions with the animals, but we did get to go into their enclosure. My grandparents use a walker, and were able to walk around the park with relative ease, and even got to ride on the train. The only thing I would have wanted was more information on the animals at their enclosures. I would highly suggest going through the VIP Experience and asking lots of questions.

My wife and I were fortunate to experience this amazing golf course on Aug 4th 2019, all i can say is WOW! from the moment we arrived the service was impecable, the bag drop girl was friendy and helpful, the pro shop staff were welcoming and full of knowledge about the course. From the pro shop we worked our way down to the complimentary driving range which is stocked with brand new Calloway balls. After warming up we proceeded to the first tee where we were greeted by a friendly starter who explained the course in full detail. This course is a link style course with many challenging holes, be sure to manage yourself on your first time out as the driver could hurt you in many areas. Stay down the middle as there is no room for error, my first round out i shot an 80 from the alternate tee boxes they call "Lake" & "Spur" its a combination of blue & blacks. My wife played form the "Sage" tees she shot a 101. The power cart come with ball washer, iron washer, complimenatry water in the side cooler and full on GPS with score card system. This course is not a walking course, in fact they will not let you walk as the distance between each hole is to far to walk. You will also find the marshall out in the field offering advice and help if needed, the cart girls is also availbale when you need it with ice cold beer. Make sure to take the time to snap lots of pictures when on this course as the scenery is breath taking. The restaurant also serves amazing food and is air conditioned to keep you comfortable or you can enjoy the patio. If I had to add a few things to make this an even better experiece I would offer the following. Customized bag tags, sun block, tees, ball markers. No one was upselling me at check in, I love this kind of stuff and my wife loves clothes and shoes. Other than that we would highly recommend this Golf course to all my friends and family. This is the BEST course in B.C hands down...

Our group of three stopped by the winery today and had the loveliest of experiences... the grounds, the tables scattered around the lawns, the chickens wandering by the coop, it was gorgeous! And then there was the young lady hosting the outdoor tasting tables, (we think her name was May?) She managed numerous tasting groups singlehandedly...joking, smiling, keeping the tables sanitized and safe... she was amazing...The wine was delicious and we left with several bottles. And we’ll be back, we are locals and will certainly bring friends throughout the summer... thanks for a great day!
